Social Determinants of Health (09-19-24) VIRTUAL

According to the National Academy of Medicine, only 10- 20% of health outcomes can be attributed to medical care, while 80-90% of these outcomes can be attributed to socioeconomic factors. The importance of social factors on health – and on health disparities – has become increasingly well-known within the past few years. This session will focus on an introductory overview of both social determinants of health (SDoH) and health-related social needs (HRSN), including the difference between the two. Geographical variations in social care needs throughout Ohio will be presented and considered. Importantly, attendees will learn more about ways to identify and address social care needs within clinical and community settings. An interactive case study component of this session will encourage attendees to consider how they might support social needs interventions in the situations presented.

**Montgomery County Ohio residents (or those working in the county) and those in the surrounding area will be given preference.

Other licensing boards may also accept these hours, however it is the attendee’s responsibility to establish this prior to attending.

In order to ethically provide CEUs, we use a platform that generates attendance time reports. We must have a total time in attendance for each participant in order to issue CEUs and the CEUs issued are based on the total amount of time accumulated between the time an attendee joins and the time the attendee logs off. We are ethically bound to report the accumulated amount of time a participant attended, therefore we cannot issue CEUs to:

· Individuals sharing a monitor, computer, and/or login

· Individuals joining by audio phone only

CEUs will be adjusted to the nearest quarter hour to reflect the amount of time present for sessions over 60 minutes in length.
